Application:

1. Apply adhesive with the recommended trowel held at a 45º angle. Do not spread more adhesive that can be

covered in 20-40 minutes. Do not return excess adhesive to the container

2. Properly position floor covering and lay it into the adhesive. Allow the adhesive to set for 15 minutes when

working with less porous substrates or carpets with stiff backing.

3. Check to see if the adhesive is properly transferring to the floor covering by lifting a corner periodically. If

not, apply additional adhesive. Cut, fit, and readjust within recommended working time.

4. Roll width and length of the flooring with a standard 100 lb. roller or follow flooring manufacturer’s

instructions.

5. When cross seams are encountered, use DAP® Nonflammable Contact Cement as a carpet seam sealer to

adhere the cross seam to the floor. Finish the installation according to the carpet manufacturer’s

specifications.
